When I travel I normally eat club sandwiches or I bring my own food. When you go into a new town, it's very had to find a good place to eat.

I'd like to have the first restaurant that can deliver incredible quality food to your table at your house at any time-right where you live.

We had no electricity, no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.

I opened my own restaurant when I was 17. I went broke, then traveled around the country, learning about different kinds of foods, had three other restaurants that went broke. It didn't all start just a few years ago!

The bad part about being recognized is that when I walk into a restaurant and sit down, I've got to eat everything on the plate, whether it's good or bad. People would take it as an insult if I did otherwise.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.

We closed the restaurant in New Orleans and brought the entire staff to San Francisco. But we had to go home.
